After Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb secured significant contract extensions in 2024, the Dallas Cowboys are now tasked with enhancing their supporting cast. Heading into the 2025 season, Brandin Cooks, the next best wide receiver after Lamb, is set to hit free agency. This situation raises questions about whether Jerry and Stephen Jones will pursue a major upgrade at the receiver position.

Amid discussions of potential trades, Bleacher Report's Maurice Moton suggested that Cooper Kupp of the Los Angeles Rams could be a viable target for Dallas. Kupp, the Super Bowl MVP, was rumored to be on the trading block following a rough start to the Rams’ season. Moton noted that acquiring Kupp could provide Prescott with a dependable short-to-intermediate option, similar to the role Cooks played previously. A trade might be necessary as parting ways with Kupp would incur a hefty dead cap hit for the Rams.
